The Heat Logs required to get the unseasoned or semi seasoned firewood combusting ? quite a few people doing this now because seasoned wood 2 years or more just doesn't exist. Fresh processed logs left in vented bags for 3 months just isn't seasoned how ever some may claim.

 

I agree with your point on not many suppliers are seasoning for long enough but if you can not get all the good fire woods down to 17 18% in 12 months your doing something wrong. The only exception to this rule can be oak but this should be down to 20% in 12 months which is good enough in my book. Ash and birch can be good in 6months if kept in perfect conditions. :001_smile:

Pressing a moisture metre on the outside of your logs is not a accurate way of testing a logs moisture. You need to split the logs and test it in the middle and only 12 month old wood will be double 15%. You can kid yourself your selling seasoned as I presume your sales depend on you claiming your selling "Genuine" seasoned logs.

 

I currently have about 40 tonnes of 18 month seasoned oak stacked and covered but its still 35% in the centre once split.

 

Once customers burn "Genuine" seasoned logs most don't go back to the con artists selling green as seasoned, and I am not insinuating your are a con artist !

 

For every "Genuine" seasoned log you need to burn four unseasoned to get the same heat output and of course a chimney fire down the road or corroded flue liner.
